Maria. Amen!
God bless thee also for the pious wish!
No cherubim are these, but, Heaven be thanked,
Two healthy boys. Pray, sit and rest with us:
The heat has been too fierce for wayfarers,
And 'neath these shady vines the afternoon
Is doubly fresh.
Raphael. Thanks, 'tis a grateful air:
The weariness of travel it uplifts
From heavy brow and body with its breath,
